Why was Jessie's Girl So Amazing?

I mean, all we are to know is that she’s watches Jessie with those eyes, and she’s loving him with that body, the singer just knows it. And the singer looks in the mirror all the time and wonders what she doesn’t see in him: He looks cool, he’s a pimp (with the lines)…

But why is she so great?

Have you seen her? I mean, cmon, jessies girl is a bombshell.

It’s hard to define.

Because Jessie has her. Sounds like a jealousy thing to me.

Hey, he feels so dirty when they start talkin’ cute.
He wants to tell her that he loves her but the point is prob’ly moot.

I am so ashamed I could do that from memory.

From what little we see of her in the video, I’m going to guess that he’s enthralled by that sweet jumper she’s wearing.

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie’s girl?

I know I wish I could find a woman like that.

She’s allright, I guess.

Very 80s.

It’s Jesse. There’s no I in the boy’s name.

OK, three minutes into the original video, she’s in the mirror with him- if THAT’s not a scary Bloody Mary-style apparition! No wonder he smashes the damn thing!

In the cover video, the singer’s girl is WAY hotter than J’s is! What is he thinking?

I recall being attracted to a friends girl years ago. No way was I crossing that line. It can be awkward. I quit going by his house for almost a year until he got a new gf. Friendship is more important then any Jenny.

That may be true, but it seems the song spells it Jessie.

As for the answer to the OP: The song doesn’t really say anything more than she has a great body, and treats her boyfriend well. The song is not really about her, despite the title. The speaker says he’s in love with her, but he not only apparently doesn’t know her name, but also would be satisfied to merely “find a woman like that.” No, the song is mostly about how he is jealous of Jessie’s having a hot girlfriend, and how it’s putting a strain on their relationship. The only reason he wants Jessie’s girl in particular is because she’s Jessie’s girl.

I guess that was just a longer way to agree with Antinor01, and, indirectly, Todderbob. But at least I added in that he’s also jealous of how Jessie’s girl treats her boyfriend.

If you like to swing or enjoy ritualistic orgies… jessie’s girl is just another girl.

You see, on Jesse’s truck, the trailer hitch don’t have no chrome on it . . .

Because of THIS!

I always thought he was secretly in love with Jessie, as well as admiring him and looking up to him, so he wanted to be just like him.

Because the singer is gay and wants to be Jessie’s catcher.

But she’s dating Rick from “Last American Virgin.” How great could she be? He’s a dick. Her judgment is obviously questionable.
